In anticipation of a visit to Central Arizona, I featured the desert tarantula on my blog last week.  I didn&#8217;t see one, but my partner Jerry snapped a photo of this amazing web.  We found it off Highway 89 just as it descends from Peeple&#8217;s Valley towards Wickenburg. I&#8217;d love some [...]]]></description>
